The webcomic community in particular has long felt slighted by the application of Wikipedia's contentious Notability policy.

Levels can be stored on SD card as well as shared with others via Wi-Fi. Levels can also be submitted to Nintendo, who will choose one level daily to send out to all Smash Bros. owners! The current plan is to have this level disappear after the one day."
